Default CB Whip

I want to run a CB radio in my deuce. Cobra 29ltd (tuned UP, no linear). I want to keep my M35A2 as close as possible to it's original configuration. It has no antenna mounts presently. Think I could just mount a spring with 102" whips? Any suggestions on where I could buy the original stuff to be as close as possible?

Here's a link to modify a military antenna to use for CB.

Radio shack sells a 102" steel whip. It will look military when you put it on your truck! Easy to mount with a tab welded to the bed and use a good stud mount and spring. Don't use a cheapo spring, You'll lose your antenna. Ask me how I know!
